Chapter 382 This is also a stupid
The three were quickly tied up, and other law enforcement officers also heard the news and rushed over.
They did not rush to ask questions, but hurried to Huaihua Lane, fearing that if they arrived too late, the merchants would get the news and move away.
What's more worrying is that the traffickers will get desperate and kill people to silence them.
Because Xu Lin was the person involved, she did not leave in a hurry. Instead, she stood beside the three vendors and looked at them with a smile.
The middle-aged woman felt creepy when she saw this, and then she realized belatedly that something was wrong.
How is it possible that all three of them fell flat on their faces? It's not like they don't have heels and walk unsteadily.
This little girl must be no ordinary person, and no one knows where she came from.
Because she was hit by the truth charm, she couldn't control her mouth. The middle-aged woman looked at Xu Lin and asked, "Who are you?"
"I'm just a passerby." Xu Lin tilted her head and showed an innocent smile, "You guys are such a loser, you almost fell to your death."
Middle-aged woman: o(≧口≦)o I want to destroy that mouth.
Middle-aged man: (⊙_⊙)? I want to vomit blood. Who is playing tricks on him?
The unlucky man just woke up and was so angry at Xu Lin's cheap words that he vomited blood.
Xu Lin felt happy when she saw that all three of them were having a hard time.
The female law enforcement officer who was guarding them looked at Xu Lin carefully and thought that the girl was very pretty, like an elf.
No wonder the traffickers would do it in the street. How could they afford it? She asked curiously:
"You're fighting at the entrance of the alley. Aren't you afraid of being discovered?"
"I'm afraid. I'm not thinking of a quick victory. I just want to knock the person out and take him away. Who knows?"
The middle-aged woman pointed at the big man, thinking that since she had been arrested and her lair was about to be busted, she might as well cooperate and confess in order to get a lenient treatment.
The most important thing is that she can't control her mouth, so just tell the truth.
"Who knew that this guy was as stupid as a pig? He used too much force and fell headfirst into the ground, leaving a bloody hole in his skull."
The middle-aged woman pointed at the middle-aged man handcuffed beside her.
"This is also a stupid thing. Let him catch the little girl, but he actually knocked us down."
After saying this, she looked at the scratches on her body and cursed the two men for being so stupid. If there was a future, she would never hang out with them again.
The female judge looked at the varying degrees of injuries on the three men and felt a little like laughing, yet also a little sympathetic towards these three stupid vendors.
How did such a dish fool others?
Xu Lin had an innocent look in her eyes with a smile on her face. She calculated quietly with her little hands and soon found out that the traffickers' lair had already been found.
Very good, we rescued five children and three little girls, which is another great deed.
Although she did not take any direct action and thus gained less merit, Xu Lin did not care and just regarded it as a small interruption in her boring life.
Although going to the Law Enforcement Bureau is not a common occurrence for Xu Lin, she is definitely not unfamiliar with it. She cooperates as much as she should and answers whatever is asked.
She had all the documents on her, so there was no problem. She took her statement and left.
But for some people who are taken to the law enforcement bureau, it is not so easy to escape.
It is impossible that the three big men dared to kidnap people in broad daylight without any backers.
The three people who were hit by the truth talisman were taken to the police station. They answered whatever was asked and did not know how to beat around the bush at all.
It is even more impossible to conceal the truth, and the human trafficker organization is directly betrayed.
The Haicheng Law Enforcement Bureau followed the clues and uncovered a lead, arresting 23 human traffickers and rescuing 48 children and 21 little girls.
This was one of the major cases they handled in recent years, and several law enforcement officers were commended for their work in this case.
Of course, this is all later news and has nothing to do with Xu Lin, so Xu Lin didn't take it to heart.
After leaving the law enforcement bureau, Xu Lin continued to wander the streets as usual.
Haicheng is close to the port city. Unlike inland cities, it is relatively more open and has looser management.
Although there are no stalls openly set up to do business on the street, there are many people doing business privately.
Just like now, when Xu Lin was walking in the alley, she saw someone selling snacks and drinks with a basket on his shoulder.
However, they did not shout, but instead knocked on two pieces of iron. If someone wanted to buy something, they would open the door to check and ask in a low voice what was for sale.
The neighbors nearby did not show any surprise when they saw them doing the transaction privately, but instead looked on with interest.
If I meet someone who is interested in something, I will come over to ask about the price, and if I think the price is right, I will buy one.
Xu Lin thought this was a good sign, and was also curious about what the other party was selling, so she would go over and buy one.
After tasting it, I found it delicious and bought a few more to put in my bag, but actually I just threw them into my space for collection.
Take it out and eat it later when you want to eat it.
Buying food did not affect Xu Lin's mood for strolling in the hutongs, especially some old houses, which were built very exquisitely.
Unlike high-rise buildings made of reinforced concrete, the hutong culture can only be truly felt by walking among them.
Whether it is wood carving or brick carving, they are all carefully crafted works by craftsmen. A painting with excellent meaning can also be carved on an exterior wall.
Such as "Hundred Sons Celebrating Birthday" and "Five Blessings Coming to the Door", each of these works can make people appreciate it.
When an old man sitting at the doorstep sees a stranger passing by, he will ask, "Who are you looking for?" or "Whose family are you from?"
If they are more gossipy, they will also ask if you have a boyfriend or not, and say that your aunt has a good son.
Whenever Xu Lin met such a person, she would run away timidly with a blushing face.
That little girl was so funny that she made the old aunts laugh out loud. Lian praised her for being so pretty and having such a good temper. I wonder who the cheap pig was from.
Running to a corner where the other party couldn't see her, Xu Lin also laughed, thinking that the other party was very interesting.
After a day of fun, Xu Lin found a private restaurant in the evening. It was a real private restaurant, the kind that was opened secretly.
Although it was opened secretly, there were quite a few customers. When Xu Lin arrived, there was only one empty table left.
The boss was surprised to see Xu Lin was a stranger, but since she was just a young girl, he didn't worry that she had any bad intentions.
The boss felt more relieved when he saw Xu Lin skillfully ordering several signature dishes.
If you are not a familiar customer, it is impossible for you to know the names of so many dishes, one or two of which are custom-made.
Orders had to be placed in advance, so although Xu Lin mentioned the names of the dishes, she didn't have the chance to taste them.
Xu Lin was not disappointed. As long as there was something to eat, it was enough. She didn’t ask for much.
The boss’s cooking skills are really good, and there’s a reason why his business is so good. As soon as Xu Lin took a bite, she knew it was worth the trip.
Without saying a word, she asked the boss to make a few more servings and use whatever ingredients were left, and she packed up to take away.
The boss was amused by the generous way of ordering dishes, and he joked:
"Little girl, many of the ingredients here are grown by my relatives. If I need vegetables, they can deliver them in just over 20 minutes.
Aren’t you worried that I’ll make too much for you to finish?”
